If you are a part of this distinguished group, why not plan on attending the meeting and receiving your pin, and the Society’s thanks, in person?  If you are unable to attend the Rocky Mountain show, you can pick up your pin at either of the two 2011 New York National Stamp Shows as well as at the APS StampShow in Columbus, Ohio in August.   tHowever, if you cannot get to any of these shows, your pin will be mailed to you after the Fall New York show.
